Chapter 550
Tobias rarely ever cares about my activities… I wonder if he knows about me bumping into Marcus at the
café earlier? If he knows, then choosing to keep it from him would only lead to him overthinking.
“I was meeting up with my manager for a discussion, and I ended up bumping into Marcus after that.”
Tobias frowned. “You’d better stay away from Marcus and Ingrid in the future. They’re never up to any
good.”
Skr had no idea what the grudge between them was about, or if it was actually between their parents
who got them involved.
Regardless, she simply nodded and stuffed the snack into her mouth.
“Did you make this yourself? It tastes amazing!” Skr eximed.
“If you find it amazing, then it couldn’t possibly have been me. My mom was the one who had me bring
them over,” Tobias replied.
Skr nearly choked when she heard that and went wide-eyed with surprise. udia made me snacks?
This isn’t like her at all! Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen her in a long time. It was always so
stressful being around her, especially since she sighs a lot. It’s almost as if she’s disappointed in Tobias
for choosing to be with me, and she has no choice but to ept me.
“I’ll pay Mrs. Ford a visit as soon as I have the time. I’ve been so busy with worktely that I can’t even
come home early,” Skr said.
Tobias was quick to stop her. “I suggest you don’t go and see her unless she invites you. She isn’t
exactly right in the head these days, so there’s no telling what nasty stuff she might say to you while
you’re there. You’ll end up in a foul mood and fight with me. So, I don’t see any point in you doing that.”
At that moment, the screen of Tobias’ phone lit up as tons of messages came in one after another,
catching the attention of Skr instantly. Judging by how aggressively the person is texting him sote at
night, it’s either from someone he owes money to or a woman!
Skr’s gaze was so obvious that Tobias noticed her peeking at it. “Are you that curious about what’s in
my phone? You can go through it if you want.”
“W-Why would I want to do that? I don’t care who’s texting you!” Skr stammered and looked away
after being caught in the act.
Despite what she said, her curiosity got the better of her, and she reached for his phone anyway.
Naturally, Tobias made no effort to stop her. However, the expression on Skr’s face changed the
moment she saw Idania’s name on the screen. She then looked up at Tobias and asked, “Why are you
still in contact with her? You told me you would never go back to your ex!”
Tobias was not expecting for Idania to text him at all.
Idania: I’m not feeling well, and I don’t know how much time I have left. I used to think life was boring, but
now I realize how beautiful it is.
Idania: Are you busy? Make sure to reply when you see my message, okay? Your coat is still here with
me. When will youe to collect it?

Idania: I’ve only had a bit of soup throughout the entire day as I didn’t have the appetite for anything.
Ah… Do you remember how much I loved eating fried beef cutlets? It tastes really good with a crispy
layer on the outside. I wonder if they’re still avable these days…
Idania: Could youe over and see me when you’re done with work? I’m scared of being all alone.
Idania: I had to stop working so suddenly, and I’m still not used to having so much free time. If I get
better, I’m definitely going back to work as soon as I can! Do you happen to be in need of a secretary, Mr.
Ford?
Skr’s frown deepened as she read through the messages. What the hell is she ying at? Is she
trying to gain his sympathy or something by acting all pitiful? Please, I’ve tried that before many years
ago! Whenever Jeremy wouldn’t reply to my texts, I’de up with all sorts of excuses to make it sound
weak and in pain, but he just ignored me and kept on gaming! Oh, well… I suppose we all meet a
scumbag or two at some point in life. All we can do is hope we don’t spend the rest of our life with them!
She then tossed the phone toward Tobias so he could see it for himself.
